Only about two or three here on this site. I don’t mind people who believe strange and disturbing things, politically or otherwise. It’s the deliberate trolls that I block.

Surprisingly few. I usually block people who think it’s a good idea to incorporate my comments into their witch hunt and go my way with a pitchfork. That is, those who use offensive or derogatory tone instead of arguments.

About 220 users and a ton of communities, 2 instances. Mostly for posting nsfw shit (i have that turned off so it shouldn’t appear), being outrageously stupid or bigoted and sports/anime. No regrets, not bashful about it. Different opinions are fine but I don’t have time for the stupid and hateful kind.

4 so far, one bot and one flying squid included. Can’t remember why I blocked the other two.

I’ve blocked quite a bit. But mostly NSFW stuff and bot accounts. Only a few communities that don’t fit that - mostly ones I thought were annoying

215 so far. Just a lot of doom posting, or politics.

Tons of communities. I don’t think any users though. Some I know are trolls but if I don’t challenge them, then they may influence people who aren’t as aware of their agenda.

Mostly on this account I’ve blocked tons of porn and anime and sports.

My NSFW account I block anything not porn and all the porn I’m not interested in.

So far just one and that user was banned so the block doesn’t really mean anything. I don’t really have a reason to block users, I just blocked that one user because they were spamming some images and videos that had “extreme” content.

I’ve just blocked one spammy russia apologist who is extremely prolific. Although I am disappointed that the community tolerates them. I feel Lemmy has an unresolved Russia apologist problem.

Few outright spam accounts. Anything I find offensive enough to warrant a block is usually bannable anyway.

Occasionally I block users that are extremely bad for one reason or another. Honestly though, I have to block far more communities than users, and it’s mostly because of foreign languages. I have nothing against these communities, but if I can’t read any of their posts, they’re just noise. I’ve tried tinkering around with language settings, but for whatever reason I still seem to see at least one new one a week, and so I block it to clean up my feed. It just seems like something that should be easy, I’m a dumb American who only wants to see English communities, how hard is it to filter by language, or is this just a problem with my mobile client (Voyager)?

So far, 177 users, 68 instances and 1526 communities.

150 users, 118 communities.

11. all of them, as far as i can recall, are bots. most of them just reddit repost spam bots.

6 instances, 1087 communities, 27 users.

I should probably look at unblocking the instances. I used those blocks early on to remove a massive number of communities I was uninterested in, but it has the side effect of also functionally blocking those users.

I do wish there were better tagging and filtering tools. Some of the communities I’ve blocked might have posts I’m interested in, but there’s currently no way to surface those from under the mountain of memes.

I’d also love to be able to block posts but not comments from specific users. There’s a handful of topics I don’t care about, and some of the blocked users are just very interested in those topics.

And auto collapse comments with inline images (although that’s more of an app feature than a Lemmy feature).
